As far as I know price hasnt been made public but I havent been keeping up with it.
Just saying, I didn't want the OP to start pointing fingers at me but it doesn't matter anyway, because there's no way in hell he's going to buy the SFR plenum/dual intake thingie

No its not. But expensive yes. I am sure you can use HKS F-con VPro to control the twin TB set up like the SFR intake mainfold.

This swap is definitely possible but extremely stupid. If anyone did do this swap they definitely have more money than brains.

That might be a little harsh, gains are to be had among other things like throttle response. Its just a questions of how much you want to spend to get that little extra.

It's called an APS TT--you get a twin intake w/ that setup!

how would you know?

bottom line, it's ALOT of money to "try" for what might be minimal, if any, gains, especially on an NA car

Again why would you pay $10,000+ for a swap that will only net you 30 or 40 HP? You are better off just buying an 07 if you want the engine or just throwing in a TT if you want the power. I just don't see the benefit of doing this swap. I mean really, what's the point?

Yes but, having ITB's will yield a lot more power once you add more aftermarket parts. If you P&P the heads you will yield even more power because of the ITB's.

explain how that is automatically the case?

what works on one motor does not necessarily work on another, and the mere prescence of ITB's is essentially meaningless. Some motors benefit from them, others, not necessarily so

You're telling me ITB's won't increase the hp output on a DE motor? You obviously cannot just have ITB's.

One part alone cannot yield incredible amounts of power. For example, you slap on a TN kit with stock exhaust and you gain 100whp. You add a 3" true dual exhaust with no cats and you add 25whp. The turbo kit operates better with other parts.

M3's have ITB's out of the factory and they run perfectly fine. Maybe thats why they cost twice as much as the Z.

Read what I wrote again - all I'm saying that you are no more equipped to prophecize the answer as anyone else is. Fact is, no one knows what an ITB setup would yield, if anything, even with "ported heads".

Comparing ANY FI setup to ANY NA mod, is as useless as **** on a bull - they share 0 similarities and in fact operate on completely opposite methods.
